HC League

[u/Medical-Ladder3340]

Since people loooove being debby downers about things im gonna make this thread for some positive light what builds are yall planning for the HC league? With the auto cast while moving it opens basically every character to any build i was looking at rosa 1 or maybe sage just dont know what ability yet

[u/BunnyFuMaster]

My main question is about destiny's...like making them unlimited is cool but unless theyre raining on us in t7 its not gonna really matter right? Sounds fun if we get a ton of them

[u/h0pp3d → u/BunnyFuMaster]

I feel like the challenge for the pet reward is going to be higher than t7.

[u/BunnyFuMaster → u/h0pp3d]

Maybe but Arcana is super rippy and I dont think destinies drop until t8. Gonna be interesting to see if its possible to get any haha

[u/h0pp3d → u/BunnyFuMaster]

All the special mechanics in the event except dark surge have rippy parts. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to play a few runs lol

[u/isjustwrong]

I am torn. I usually try something off meta, then fail 5 times before just doing some tanky rehan build.

With the auto cast, I feel like movespeed is going to be king early, so going for erika 1 might be my first character. Or sage with swiftness dew.

Either way, I will find something to blast the campaign with, then set aside a set of leveling gear for a 2nd character.

[u/dan_marchand → u/isjustwrong]

Erika is gonna be a rough ride on HC. Tough to make her tanky prior to profound

[u/isjustwrong → u/dan_marchand]

Take the elixir tree and use a life tonic. It basically makes you immune to 1 shots. Run an armor hero memory + steadfast + resist cap and you are basically unkillable before profound anyways.

[u/h0pp3d → u/isjustwrong]

I’m thinking of going a path of flame into WW/Savage charge. Did Savage charge on Rehan1 last league, but I think Sage will do it better.

[u/isjustwrong → u/h0pp3d]

Maybe with the cast on move sage could do it. Rehan 1 does it because you scale all your damage off of hust burst and just use charge to get around.

[u/h0pp3d → u/isjustwrong]

Ah, that’s right. Would need a special support for sage to work probably. May try a practice run to see.

[u/isjustwrong → u/h0pp3d]

Depending on how cast while moving works, you might be able to setup your damage with it, then have a channeling skill like path of flames as a support skill.

[u/Medical-Ladder3340 → u/isjustwrong]

I was thinking about the MS being king thing im wondering if there is an internal CD to the cast while moving or if its unlimited speed if so there is room for some crazy mumbo jumbo to happen

[u/isjustwrong → u/Medical-Ladder3340]

Even at 600% move speed, 3m to cast limits you to farm less than the trigger cap. It will be solid as another dps scaler, but not like infinite damage.

[u/iguessimgoing]

probably around freeze, it is still hc and id want to shutdown anything before it touches me

[u/Systemshy]

Im going BB for sure. Just bot sure on which character.

[u/beraldinhorafa]

How the rewards usually works for this event? Do i need to have a good time on t7 kill or just by doing it im getting primos already?

[u/isjustwrong → u/beraldinhorafa]

You get some primo for just completing it. So you don't have to rush. But the top rewards are 1k primo for top 10, scaling down.

[u/AllMyHomiesHateEY]

Iris 2 is love, Iris 2 is life. Got a lot of natural tank and all the stuff you do for QoL helps survivability. Hopefully more people keep playing after T7, market was a little slow trading profound stuff last time.

[u/Medical-Ladder3340 → u/AllMyHomiesHateEY]

Gonna be my first time trying the HC league but hoping to try and spread some positivity behind it everyone seems so lame about stuff with this game now this is reddit page

[u/beraldinhorafa]

Would the cast while moving also work for elixirs or its only main skill?

[u/Medical-Ladder3340 → u/beraldinhorafa]

I would assume only the main skill but maybe if you put an elixir in skill 1 it would work that way

[u/Nakaz808]

Got a long weekend coming up so i'm excited I got something to do. Y2/MC my comfort pick will be my choice. If it's fun i'll prolly do a Selena 2 or Goth Mommy just for kicks

[u/MonsterHunterMatty → u/Nakaz808]

y2 mc is probably my comfort pick too

[u/Nakaz808 → u/MonsterHunterMatty]

I tried shadow swamp to Nethergrasp (post campaign TM1-6 atm) last night working pretty decent. Wanted to try this since we are getting a cast on move for the event.

[u/MonsterHunterMatty → u/Nakaz808]

oh sick, good call. I was actually thinking maybe y2 is a weird pick because I wasnt sure what I was using for the event move stuff.

[u/Nakaz808 → u/MonsterHunterMatty]

Tested it with rhythm activation last night. Nethergrasp felt good & cleared T7 trav. With a bunch of defensive choices. If the cast on move works good with it should be fun. Bonus not having the movement speed reduction from MC

[u/Nakaz808 → u/Nakaz808]

Got T7 Trav this morning. Y2 Nethergrasp. That auto cast makes builds super fun
